LEO ~ Boat Rocker Entertainment
Have you seen LEO? Here’s what others have to say about his Anti-Gravity Magic:
LEO is a mind-bending, anti-gravity show. It’s a funny, surreal, and surprisingly touching work that challenges the senses and tests perceptions of reality through the clever interplay of live performance and video projection. Winner of many international awards including Best of Edinburgh.
Time Out New York:
“An eye-teasing, grin-inducing, deeply impressive work of sustained absurdist magic”
The Village Voice
“It’s unusual to hear so many child-like gasps of sheer delighted astonishment in a theater.”
Theatermania
“LEO is utterly delightful. You’re likely to find yourself grinning like a fool while watching LEO. The winner of the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe LEO combines acrobatics and film work to create a rather unique piece of theater.”
Aah . . . that’s better!

Looks absolutely brilliant. It’s the stuff dreams are made of. You speak of childhood gasps, that’s exactly what it did for me. I love it. so clever.
That’s what I thought . . . what a unique way to entertain and mesmerize an audience.
Sounds like it’s right up my alley.
LEO is performing here in the Historic Asolo Theater later this month. Don’t know where else he’s touring . . .
I enjoyed that. Leo is new to me.
We received an invitation from the Historic Asolo Theater just yesterday. That sparked my interest.
I haven’t heard of Leo before! I’m sure intrigued. I love this kind of imagination-stirring wonder. 🙂
He quite lithe and limber . . . so fluid.
Quite amazing, isn’t it? I must admit it took me far to long to realise that the one on the right was what he was doing and the one on the left the tilted or adapted version of it. Once I did, I was enthralled.
We watched several different youtube clips . . . his fluid moves are just fantastic ~ and the “mirror image” really makes the mind concentrate. 😯
This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Nancy 😉 I’ve never seen him before…
He’s quite spectacular. I would love to have some of his SMOOTH MOVES. 😀
This is amazing, Nancy: mind bending in a vey positive way! I love it. No wonder it wowed Edinburgh.
It really does make the mind work harder to fit the pieces of the puzzle together . . . “what’s that now?”
Hehe…I enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing 🙂
My favorite is when he’s sits cross-legged . . . halfway up the way. 😀
Haha, brilliant! I’ll have to show it to my kids. I’ll be waiting for them to ask, how does he do that???
I imagine that the boys would love to try some of his SMOOTH MOVES. I know I would. 😀
Fun!
It’s fascinating to watch . . . and inspiring to think about how he came up with the idea to defy gravity.
That would be fun to see!
Such a creative idea . . . well executed.
Fun. I like when people find new ways to express creativity.
It’s like he’s thinking “outside the box” . . . while stuck inside the box. 😉
Great fun
He’s like a trapeze artist . . . without the trapeze.
and a mime without gravity
Sounds like it is really something original.
Understated elegance . . . except, perhaps, for the whale. 😉
This was pretty cool. I hadn’t heard of Leo before, but the video was entertaining.
The execution of some of those moves, standing alone, is rather astounding . . . but the juxtaposition of the two worlds really made my mind work overtime.
Have not heard of this show, will look it up as both Phil and I enjoy these types of shows. BTW, I finally received “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” from the library; was number 80 on the waiting list. Will watch it tomorrow. 🙂
LEO might be headed your way ~ it’s on tour at the moment. Hope you enjoy The Odd Life of Timothy Green and decide it was worth the wait.
